Grain of Glen Quoich is a short study on the sonic characteristics and behaviours of water, its graininess, its dynamic movement, with hints of what might lie underneath the surface of the water.

Grain of Glen Quoich was realized in 2024 at the composer’s studio in Skipton (England, UK). Under the title Grain it is the 3rd movement of On a Wing and a Prayer co-created with Katherine Wren and Joe Stollery with contributions by Charles Ross and Paul Anderson.
